The purpose of this study is to find an optimal land-use
planning method that could be successful in improving both
socioeconomic development and land-use efficiency. As indus-
trialization plays a major role in the spread of construction,
industrial land-use planning is vital. We are interested in inten-
sive industrial land-use, and the evaluation of industrial land-use
efficiency is the first and most basic part of this study. We
combined theories of industrial economics and dominant sector
selection with the theory of land-use efficiency in an attempt to
achieve a workable solution. We examined the case of the Shunyi
District in Beijing because of the rapid speed of industrialization
and the large area of arable land that surrounds the district.
